late girl's guide | kale & sausage pasta alfredo

I know a fair share of people who started the new year with diets in mind -- diets not including pasta. For me, when the weather is cold and gray, I crave comfort food, diet or not. 

This recipe includes some great fresh ingredients (hello, kale), lighter meat (turkey sausage), is easy to make and cures the winter blues. Well, mine anyway.

1. Prep - Slice the sausage. Wash and cut the kale bunches. 

2. Pan sear the sausage, seasoned with Italian seasoning and fresh garlic. Boil pasta on the side. 

3. Five minutes before the sausage is done, put the kale in the pan to cook lightly. 

4. When the kale, sausage and pasta are done, mix together in a bowl with alfredo sauce.
